ABB 3AUA0000227400 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227400
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000227400 ACH580 Packaged Drive is a motor drive system that precisely controls HVAC motors for commercial and light industrial applications. Choosing separate protection and control modules often leads to longer commissioning times and higher risk of wiring errors; this packaged option reduces assembly steps and simplifies safety interlocks. UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, the drive includes a door-mounted graphical control panel and electronic motor overload protection to support compliant, safe operation. With a horsepower range from 1 to 350 and 230/460/575 V compatibility, it supports scalable HVAC and pump applications while enabling easy integration with existing automation and energy-management strategies.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227400 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with either an input disconnect switch and fast acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. It is available from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 Packaged Drive provides a door-mounted input disconnect switch (padlockable in the OFF position), electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel with graphical display for local control, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability
Packed into a single enclosure, the ACH580 Packaged Drive integrates the ACH580 controller with an input disconnect switch and fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker, enabling a compact, code-compliant installation. This reduces wiring requirements, minimizes panel space, and enhances safety by ensuring a secured OFF condition during maintenance. In HVAC scenarios, the simplified hardware layout accelerates commissioning and reduces installation costs while maintaining compliance with NEC and local electrical codes. With a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and voltage options of 230, 460, and 575 V, the system scales from small fan applications to larger pump duties. The drive family enables a single platform across equipment, reducing spare parts and training needs while supporting efficient energy management. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display provides local start/stop, parameter access, and status indicators, enabling technicians to adjust settings without a separate operator station. The graphical interface reduces commissioning time by letting engineers validate configurations on-site, improving first-time fix rates. Additionally, the drive offers external control connections and serial communications capability for remote monitoring and seamless building automation integration. Electronic motor overload protection is built-in, protecting motors from overload and reducing unplanned downtime. This feature supports proper motor protection coordination and trip settings aligned with motor nameplate data, enhancing reliability in critical HVAC loops and process applications. Compatibility with 230/460/575 V supply and 1–350 HP range means engineers can standardize across sites. For service teams, the integrated solution reduces parts to stock and speeds fault isolation, delivering lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive fits UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and is designed for 230/460/575 V supply. Plan for adequate panel space, access to the door-mounted control panel, and proper clearance for heat dissipation. Ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is correctly sized to match horsepower and current ratings (up to 350 hp). Include wiring that accommodates external control connections and serial communications for remote monitoring.
The drive includes built-in electronic motor overload protection that coordinates with motor nameplate data to prevent overheating and electrical stress. It provides trip settings aligned with motor characteristics, helping avoid nuisance trips while maintaining motor safety. This reduces motor wear and unplanned downtime in HVAC fan and pump applications.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports 1–350 hp motors at 230/460/575 V, making it ideal for HVAC fans and pumps in commercial and light industrial settings. Its integrated enclosure, local control panel, and remote communications enable straightforward installation, reliable operation, and easy integration with building management systems for energy efficiency and demand control.
This package is UL-listed and offered in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, providing flexibility for indoor installations in various climates and safety standards. The combination supports regulatory compliance, safe maintenance access, and compatibility with building electrical codes, reducing project risk during retrofits or new installations.
The integrated design reduces wiring, panel space, and commissioning time, which lowers upfront installation costs. Built-in protections and a door-mounted control panel simplify maintenance and fault diagnosis, improving mean time between failures (MTBF) and reducing total cost of ownership. Remote monitoring via serial communications further enhances performance visibility for ROI-focused facilities managers.
